PART 17

EXTRAORDINARY CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

Subpart 1-Standards and Procedures

17.000 Scope of Part. This Part establishes standards and procedures for the disposition of requests for extraordinary contractual adjustments by contractors of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (hereinafter referred to as "NASA" or the "Administration”) pursuant to the Act of August 28, 1958 (Public Law 85-804; 50 U.S.C. 1431-35) (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"), and Executive Order No. 10789, dated November 14, 1958 (23 F.R. 8897) (hereinafter referred to as "the Executive Order"). It does not extend to advance payments or the socalled "residual powers" under the Act.

17.101 Authority.

(a) The Act empowers the President to authorize Departments and agencies exercising functions in connection with the national defense to enter into contracts or into amendments or modifications of contracts and to make advance payments, without regard to other provisions of law relating to the making, performance, amendment, or modification of contracts, whenever he deems that such action would facilitate the national defense.

(b) The Executive Order authorizes the Administrator of NASA (hereinafter referred to as "the Administrator"), to exercise the authority conferred by the Act, and to prescribe regulations for the carrying out of such authority.

(c) NASA Management Instruction 1152.5, "Contract Adjustment Board," establishes the Contract Adjustment Board (hereinafter referred to as "the Board") to consider and dispose of requests for extraordinary contractual adjustments by NASA contractors.

17.102 General Policy. The authority conferred by the Act shall be utilized primarily as an aid to procurement but shall not be utilized so as to encourage carelessness and laxity on the part of contractors or NASA personnel, nor be relied upon by NASA where other adequate legal authority exists. The actions authorized under the Act shall be processed as expeditiously as practicable but with the care, restraint, and sound judgment appropriate to the exercise of such extraordinary authority. 17.103 Standards for Deciding Cases.

17.103-1 General. The mere fact that losses occur under a Government contract is not, by itself, a sufficient basis for the exercise of the authority conferred by the Act. Whether, in a particular case, appropriate action (such as amendment without consideration, correction of a mistake or ambiguity in a contract, or formalization of an informal commitment) will facilitate the national defense is a matter of sound judgment to be made on the basis of all of the facts of the case. Although it is obviously impossible to predict or enumerate all types of cases with respect to which action may be appropriate, examples of cases or types of cases where action may be proper are set forth in paragraphs 17.103-2, 17.103-3, and 17.103-4 below. Even if all of the factors contained in any of the examples are present, other factors or considerations in a particular case may result in a denial of the request. These examples are not intended to exIclude other cases where the Board determines that the circumstances warrant action.
